    How to chill your vodka

    It looks like this site will ship internationally: http://www.find-me-a-gift.co.uk/ak-bullet-ice-cube-tray.html

    If we can take what he writes at face value, his friend was asking him to destroy them: This is also reinforced by the fact that he went to the police first, thinking that they would just take them from him for the purpose of making sure they were never sold to anyone. If she just wanted...

    Maybe I'm just cranky, but... While it's sad that he destroyed some perfectly good guns - and that he and his friend don't understand how an object they perceive to be evil might actually be just a neutral object, which someone else might put to good use - he did make a promise to his friend...

    simunition question

    The mystery of Simunition's legality seems to be cleared up, then. It's probably just a ploy of the producers to make it seem like the operations being undertaken in "Special Ops Mission" are more dangerous, or at least more exclusive, than they really are.

    Went to an indoor range last nite...should I worry?

    Please, PLEASE do not use ear candles. At best they don't really do you any good, and at worst you could perforate your eardrum, and/or burn your house down: http://www.quackwatch.com/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/candling.html Ear candles are actually illegal in Canada because they're dangerous...

    simunition question

    @happygeek - I've seen a few episodes of "Special Ops Mission" and it seems like jams occur fairly often. I wondered if this was due to the Simunition, or just from the wear and tear of being in a simulated mission. Sounds like it may indeed be the rounds themselves.

    Introducing a female friend to guns [shotgun-specific]

    As a followup to this, I just wanted to let everyone know that I didn't end up having my friend use the shotgun. It wasn't because she was scared of recoil or noise or anything like that. Rather, she found my Ruger 10/22 to be too heavy for her, and also somewhat difficult to hold. She ended up...

    Actively Anti-Gun Judges

    In today's TimesUnion there's the typical story about how Obama's election caused gun sales to skyrocket. The only interesting - and highly infuriating - part about it came when the author talked about how local judges were reacting to the influx of firearms license applications: I'm...

    Introducing a female friend to guns [shotgun-specific]

    You're absolutely correct. What I mean by that was that I would tell her up front what it would be like, and then if she DID decide to try it and was successful, then the message would be, "pretty much every regular firearm will be less noisy and have less recoil than that, so since you were...

    Any good Gun shows on TV

    I saw a thread on here a while back about "Special Ops Mission" on the Military Channel. I checked it out and it's not a gun show, per se, but it was interesting to see small-scale wargames in action. It's got a little bit of a cheesey feel at times, but the episodes I've seen so far have been...

    Introducing a female friend to guns [shotgun-specific]

    In a few weeks I am going to be going to the range with a (platonic) female friend to show her the basics of safe operation of firearms. Mostly we're going to be using my Ruger 10/22, since the operations are pretty straightforward and the report and recoil are quite minimal. The main purpose of...

    Well guys it happened to me....neighbor.

    The OP's neighbor sounds like a certain personality type, which a few people mentioned before. The shooting probably annoyed him this whole time, but he's the kind of guy who lets things fester and keeps them inside until he can't stand it anymore, or has an opportunity to make a statement. So...

    Alert---new york gun owners!

    Which circumstances - the ones with the major shift in the leadership of the Senate, or the ones around the microstamping bill? If you're asking about the former: basically the Senate (which has been Republican controlled for the last 40 years) shifted to Democratic control after the last...

    Alert---new york gun owners!

    It might, but there's a good chance that it won't. NYSRPA sent out this message today:

    Warning on ammo boxes in French?

    Mal H is most likely correct. Unless the ammo is from Canada, the company probably chose the UN's working languages and called it good.
